## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS DEPARTING VCV ON RUN WAY 21.  DURING ROTATION THE NOSE WHEEL FELL OFF.  THE PILOT WAS NOTIFIED BY GROUND PERSONEL OF THE MISSING NOSE GEAR.  AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT THE NOSE WHEEL AT VCV AIRPORT RUNWAY 21.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
